creamy yellow at their tips. The 
leaves are dark green, irregularly 
blotched with brown. One of ihe best, 
and should be in every collection. 
Strong roots, 50c. each ; $4 per dozen. 
Nymphaea Marliaca Albida. The 
type of Marliacea species; has strong, 
bold foliage, and pure, clear white 
“ cupped ” flowers, broad petals and 
yellow stamens. 50 cents each. 
Nymphaea Odorata. The Odorata family is an extensive, lovely 
class of Water Lilies. They range from 3 to 7 or 8 inches in diame¬ 
ter; are not quite as hardy as the Marliaceas, though most of them 
endure the climate of Michigan. They bloom heaviest in the early 
spring and lightly through the summer. Their greatest charm is 
their fragrance. This variety is pure white ; leaves 10 inches and 
flowers 5 inches across. Very fragrant. Price, 10 cents each ; $1:00 
per dozen. N 
Nymphaea Odorata Rosea. This gem was a long time the only 
hardy pink Water Lily in cultivation. Though within the last few 
years several others, superior in size, beauty and freedom of bloom, 
have been introduced, yet it is likely to be a stand-by for several 
years longer. Almost exactly like the type, except that the flowers 
are a lovely bright pink and somewhat larger. 50c each; $4perdoz. 
Nymphaea Odorata Caroliniana. One of the most elegant and 
free-flowering of all the Odorata family. It is a size larger and more 
vigorous than the type. The petals are rosy pink at the base, pass¬ 
ing through salmon to almost white at the tips. $1.00 each. 
Nymphaea Odorata Sulphurea. A beautiful yellow, being deep¬ 
er colored than N. Marliacea chromatella, though not so large. Pe¬ 
tals bright canary, with deep yellow stamens. Leaves beautifully 
mottled with reddish brown. Not hardy north of Ohio. 50c each. 
Nymphaea Odorata Exquisita. A great acquisition. Flowers 
some larger than the type, and a rich, deep rosy carmine color, much 
darker than N. odorata rosea. Delicate grower. $1.50 each. 
Nymphaea Odorata Gigantea. From Florida, with flowers inter¬ 
mediate in size between N. odorata and N. superba. The leaves also 
turn up at the edges like those of N. superba. Flowers cup-shaped, 
fragrant, pearly white, w'th yellow stamens. It resembles N. odorata 
in neither form nor habit, and is doubtless distinct from that species, 
though not far superior. Price 20 cts each; 8 for $1.00. 
Nymphaea Odorata Minor. A little gem. Like the type, ex¬ 
cept that the flowers are only 2 inches in diameter, and the foliage 
correspondingly small. Flowers colored somewhat like N. alba 
candidissima. 25 cents each; $2 per doz. 
Nymphaea Odorata Maxima. Flowers larger than the type ; 
petals white, the outsiile of the sepals greenish. Foliage resembles 
N. a ba Gladstonana $1.00 each. 
Nymphaea Odorata 
Lucipna. A new lily, 
after the habits of N. 
odorata Caroliniana, 
though superior and with 
pleasing rosy carmine 
flowers, quite a distinct 
color from the other red 
odoratas. $2.50 each. 
Nymphaea Laydekeri 
Rosea. The Laydekeris 
are a family of French 
hybrids, m uch smaller 
than the odoratas, but 
larger than the Pygmaeas 
having flowers 3 inches
